First Ipswich Transfers

Former First Ipswich Alexander Dennis Enviro300 67763 SN62 AUK entered service in the Chelmsford area for First Essex yesterday following its move from Suffolk. Dale Bell provides a photo of it on the C1 route to the Bloomfield Hospital in the city.



In April 2017, it was one of a group of nine arriving at Great Yarmouth from First Borders following the take over of their services by Borders Buses. The new arrivals were being prepared for service at Caister Road prior to heading to Suffolk for the new Ipswich Park and Ride service. In the interim SN62 AUK appeared in use in Gorleston branded as a First Great Yarmouth bus prior to moving on!




I subsequently found a second email from Dale hiding in the spam which featured another Enviro300 67775 SN62 AXO in the new First Corporate livery. It had also moved from Ipswich in the previous week.

My thanks to Dale for his two photos.
